There is an ongoing debate within Democratic Socialists of America on the question of Ukraine. Many individual DSA members and chapters have upheld the

The key thing here is that because the DSA-NPC and DSA-IC are a national formation they've been better able to put aside their disagreements to work together on advancing the anti-war and anti-imperialism camp explicitly against their home country's role in the war, whereas the international communist movement is still choking on the question of whether or not it's bad to invade fascist nations.

Just cause the IC one is from before the invasion and the NPC one is a more public facing short statement after the invasion.
